Expirience with the Pivot Firebird Ride SLX/XT

Ludwig Döhl Are you looking for a premium enduro? Then take a close look at the Firebird Ride with its ample suspension travel and the noteworthy DW-Link rear end! No matter how rowdy the ride gets: when shredding the Pivot Firebird Ride, the 64 degree head tube angle and the long wheelbase ensure a pretty chilled handling. The seating position is sporty. With shifting systems, other manufacturers in the price segment under 8000 Euro continue to top up to the shelf. But the Pivot still has an ace up its sleeve: compared to their direct competitors, Pivot installed higher-quality wheels. We like: 10 years warranty on the frame!
